Steve Messam - Gateway

Steve Messam - Gateway

Steve Messam - Gateway


‘Gateway’ is a large-scale inflatable installation situated beneath the historic St John's Gate in Clerkenwell, London. Measuring 6m tall and 15.5m in length, it featured 27 giant spikes in an intense blue textile. This temporary piece is part of an ongoing series of artworks around historic architectural sites, inviting viewers to examine their environment in a new light through its deliberately ambiguous shape and size.

‘Gateway’ offered a dynamic and unforgettable sensory experience - the spikes towering above visitors as they pass through the gate. The bespoke piece traces the internal space between the arches before bursting out beyond the bounds of the building.
